Michael Frantz
Our Founder and former Director, Michael Frantz, was a white-collar offender. "I know from personal experience that serving time in federal prison isn’t easy. From the very first day I was incarcerated, I felt overwhelmed and underinformed. Jail Time Consulting is a collaboration of many people with the singular goal of helping defendants, inmates, and their families."
Michael is an author and has been featured on Fox News, Oprah Winfrey Channel, and ABC’s 20/20, his insights remain at www.jailtimeconsulting.com.
Anthony Ricci
A dedicated prison consultant passionate about helping inmates navigate the justice system. Frustrated by unclear information from prison staff, Anthony provides expert advocacy and strategic solutions to support inmates and their families effectively.

Our experiences made us determined to assist those individuals heading to or already in federal or state prison.
We separate the fact from the fiction; we inform and educate you on what to do, what not to do, what to say, what not to say, and provide expertise in positioning you for all beneficial inmate programs. In addition, I have developed specific programs and techniques to properly position our clients for eligibility and acceptance into the four BOP sentence reduction programs—the 500-Hour Residential Drug Abuse Program, the Second Chance Act Program, the Compassionate Release Program, and the Commutation of Sentence Program. These programs have the potential of dramatically reducing the length of actual time you serve in prison. Our success rate is unparalleled, no other company can compare with our success rate for all programs!
I made it through my ordeal, and I can help you make it through yours.
